• Design modular environmental content that can be reused, adapted, and developed as the game and project evolve.
• Work together with technical art and engineering staff on procedural, scalable, and efficient environmental workflows for real-time production.
• Ensure that play spaces support composition, texturing, lighting, readability, navigation, and game clarity while remaining in harmony with the established visual direction.
• Lead environmental evaluations for internal and external production, contributing to maintaining quality, guiding priorities, and supporting the team's future growth.

• Extensive experience with modern environmental tools and pipelines such as Maya, Blender, Substance 3D, Houdini, ZBrush, Unreal, Unity, Frostbite, or comparable engines and tools.
• Ideally, experience in adapting environmental artistic resources to different game types, visual styles, needs, procedural workflows, user-generated content (UGC) systems, or AI-assisted content processing pipelines.
